Soul Society had lasted almost two thousand years, standing firm as the most powerful authority across all the planes of existence. Every time they had been challenged, they prevailed. It had been said that the Shinigami had become complacent, almost arrogant with their power. Some say that's what lead to their downfall, others say it was because they were too powerful. But one thing has always been certain. This was the war that changed everything.[/style] [style=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #161612; font-family:georgia; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#435e49; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 2px; text-align:right; text-transform:lowercase]Resurface[/style][style=border:1px dashed #142113; background-color:#050505; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color:7d7d7d]► The first signs that the Quincy had again resurfaced, were the hollows. They were the only beings across all the planes that could wipe a hollow out from existence. Soul Society was thrown into chaos and the balance of the world was beginning to falter. The Quincy did not see that what they were doing was wrong, however. They only saw the Hollows as enemies and intended to strike them all down without mercy. Kurosaki Ichigo knew none of this. Going about his life he began to notice that hollows were becoming less and less of a problem in his home town of Karakura. He figured it was just him and his new powers scaring them off. But whenever he sensed a hollow, it would be always be long dead before he could reach it. And not purified, it was completely wiped from existence. Ichigo became weary and went to his friends for advice. While most of them were also cautious, Ishida Uryū told Ichigo to stay out of it. He didn't. His father was also cryptic and told him that he would deal with it. He told Ichigo that he knew someone who had answers. However his father never ended up returning home after trying to get those answers. The next morning Ichigo visited Urahara Kisuke at his shop and informed him that his father had not returned. Urahara told him that the only people who could completely destroy a hollow were Quincy. With Urahara's help they were able to track down Ichigo's father but to his dismay the man had been slain in battle by an unknown enemy. Kurosaki Ishin was the first causality in the war that would change the very way the universe worked. Ichigo, infuriated by his father's death confronted Uryu. The boy told Ichigo that the Quincy had in fact returned to power and would not bow to the Shinigami's way of life. They thought that Hollows did not deserve to live and no one would change that. Ichigo pleaded with Uryu who simply told him that this was always going to happen. Despite all they had been through, they were enemies. By birth. And declared war upon all Shinigami. Uryu's father then appeared and revealed he had slain Kurosaki Ishin and that he was the leader of the Quincy. Ichigo flew into a rage and took on Uryu and his father. A number of quincy soldiers came to their aid and Ichigo in his anger cut them down without remorse. He was no match for Uryu and his fathers combined strength and was only saved by Urahara and Yoruichi. Taking his chance to inflict more damage on the Shinigami, Ryūken Ishida, Uryu's father, directly attacked Urahara as they fled, fatally wounding the man in the process. In the aftermath of the confrontation, Urahara was taken to Soul Society by Yoruichi and Ichigo where he died peacefully in his sleep due to his wounds. Despite their differences with Soul Society, the captain commander swore to Ichigo and Yoruichi that both Ishin and Urahara would be revenged. And thus the war began.[/style] [style=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #161612; font-family:georgia; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#435e49; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 2px; text-align:right; text-transform:lowercase]The Killing Fields[/style][style=border:1px dashed #142113; background-color:#050505; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color:7d7d7d]►The first major battle in the Holy war took place on farmlands, west of Karakura town. It was decided that the fight should be held away from the human city to stop unnecessary bloodshed. The Shinigami forces were lead by Shinji Hirako and his lieutenant Hiyori Sarugaki. The battle was long, longer than either side had expected and the loss on both sides ended up being catastrophic, which led to the battle being known as the killing fields. After three days and nights of both sides simply throwing themselves at each other, both called a cease fire and a partial truce to tend to the dead. The battle had no tactics, no plan. It was simply both sides killing each other relentlessly. It had been chaos. Once the smoke had cleared, Hiyori Sarugaki, Lisa Yadōmaru, Momo Hinamori and Marechiyo Ōmaeda were discovered amongst the many of those who had been killed. The battle was considered a loss on both sides.[/style] [style=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #161612; font-family:georgia; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#435e49; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 2px; text-align:right; text-transform:lowercase]Assasination[/style][style=border:1px dashed #142113; background-color:#050505; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color:7d7d7d]►After the disaster that was the killing fields, the shinigami decided that they would cut the head of the Quincy by assassinating their leader, Ryūken Ishida. The four shinigami chosen for this task were Chōjirō Sasakibe, the 1st division Lt and former visoreds, Love Aikawa, Kensei Muguruma and captain Suì-Fēng who lead the mission . The plan was simple, sneak into the hospital where he worked and kill him. But the Shinigami seriously underestimated the individual power the Quincies had come to possess. The assassination would end in disaster with all four shinigami falling to the Quincy and his son after a long battle which destroyed the hospital and, the battle ended up causing two hundred human casualties.

By this time the human world had declared a national emergency due to all the bodies that were showing up in and around Karakura town. Due to everything that had happened, Ichigo ended up dropping out of school. He spent his days with his sisters, who had learned about what he was and the war along with Orihime, Rukia and Renji as they tried to come up with a plan to defeat the Quincy. However Ichigo became increasingly worried when Orihime didn't come home from a supply run. Rukia was worried about Ichigo as he had become increasingly paranoid. However it would turn out that he was right. They got a letter from Ishida telling them to meet him at Karakura High School. This time however they brought back up, in secret, Kenpachi, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Shunsui Kyōraku and Sajin Komamura followed Ichigo, Byakuya, Renji and Rukia. Ichigo's sisters were left under the protection of Yoruichi. They met with Ishida and his father who demanded that Soul Society surrender, unconditionally, otherwise they would proceed to kill Orihime and everyone they were associated with. Despite his pain, Ichigo knew that Soul Society could not comply. To his dismay they dragged a lifeless Yoruichi into the courtyard along with his two bound sisters, despite Kenpachi and his team's efforts to intervene. The Quincies executed each one before their eyes, saying this is what would become of the shinigami and their followers. No one expected humans to have so much power and despite all their combined might the Shinigami fell, one by one to the force of the Quincy army. Through it all, Ichigo had been so sure that they would win in the end. They all had been through so much together, they had defeated the odds time and time again, he refused to go down without a fight. They took out a massive portion of the Quincy army alone and in the course of the battle thousands of humans were killed as Karakura town was turned to ruin. But in the very end the Shinigami fell, each one slain without mercy. Ichigo and Rukia made a last ditch effort to kill Ishida's father and would have succeeded if not for Ishida himself killing Rukia. However she managed to take off one of the man's arms before being slain. Ichigo in his rage unleashed an attack that wiped out Ishida and his father. But to his dismay, Ishida survived and ended up putting an arrow into Ichigo's chest for crippling his father who was left legless with only one arm. The human world evacuated the land around Karakura and declared it a radical terrorist attack. As the dust settled the Quincy rose from the rubble, under the leadership of Ishida. Hell bent on ending Soul Society. Karakura high was the last known resting place of Ichigo Kurosaki.[/style] [style=margin-top:-30px; height:20px; border-bottom:8px solid #161612; font-family:georgia; font-style:italic; font-size:28px; letter-spacing:-2px; color:#435e49; text-shadow:#000000 1px 1px 2px; text-align:right; text-transform:lowercase]The Fall[/style][style=border:1px dashed #142113; background-color:#050505; font-size:10px; text-align:justify; padding:3px; color:7d7d7d]►The Shinigami were considering retreating into the Soul society and letting the Quincy roam the earth. But they knew it would end with the world becoming unbalanced and destroying itself. However they never expected the Quincy to attack them inside Soul Society. Over the years in their exile they had been devising a way for them to enter Soul Society, the only safe haven for Shinigami and they succeeded. The attack caught the shinigami off guard but the fight was not decisive. The siege for Seireitei lasted almost an entire week. Both Shinigami and Quincy were decimated. In a last effort to end the Shinigami, the Quincy set off a reiatsu bomb. The blast wiped out the surviving high ranking Shinigami and Quincy, leaving only children and soldiers left. Both sides, tired of war, called a truce and the left over Quincy retreated back to the human world. That was almost three hundred years ago. [/style] |
